The Heat Wayv is the first microwave-powered unit, intended for home heating (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/16/first-microwave-powered-home-boiler-could-help-cut-emissions). The Heat Wayv Unit is about the same size as a gas boiler. It contains, however, 10m of tubing, where microwaves heat water at several points. The unit might well have advantages over heat pumps in some types of property.
